If you have small children, make the most of the years when they are still clingy to you. Enjoy your time with them and strengthen your bond so that when they are older and ready to leave the nest, they will not forget their mother who was always there for them.

My children do not belong to me, but to God. I only have them on loan. When I see them honoring God with prayers and with actions that are pleasing to Him, then I know that I am fulfilling my mission as a good parent.

Although some days may seem impossible, today makes it all worth it. The most fulfilling thing about being a mother, is the day you realize that you have raised a wonderful adult.

Maya Octavia, new mother

Being a mother is a precious gift from God. Before you become a mother, you never know how much your mother loves you. The best thing about being a mother is you'll always give unconditional love to your kid(s); it's different with any other love that you ever feel!

Serena Mui, mother of two

For mothers...hang in there it will get easier some day. Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing your little darling grow into a wonderful and loving adult. The best thing about being a mother is to hear your adult child say that he/she trusts you with their little ones to mould and love as you did them.

As a mother-to-be, I'm looking forward to spending my first Mother's Day with my little boy next year. If I had to guess, the best thing about being a mum is probably when your child runs into your arms for a hug calling "Mummy!"

Karen M, mother of one

Say thank you to your children this mother's day. They are the reason you have the best, albeit the most challenging and headache-inducing, job in the world.

The smiles, hugs and kisses that I get from my son are reward enough for all the tough times I had experienced being a mother. Hearing him say "I love you, mommy" never fails to make me thank the stars for giving me the opportunity to be a mother.

But the most fulfilling thing about motherhood is witnessing my child make correct, independent decisions and practice random acts of kindness. These gives me a sense of pride that I have been, somewhat in my own way, a good mother/teacher to my son.

The best thing about being a mother is seeing your kids reveal their own unique personalities from day one. Celebrating their individuality and responding to them in a unique way.

Because you never cease being a mother, the joys of motherhood evolve with each phase of the child’s life. As children, they delight you with their innocence and purity. As teens, they fill you with pride as they navigate adolescence with the values you imparted to them. And as adults, they inspire you as they share with you THEIR own hopes and dreams.

Where do I begin? From pregnancy till now, the best thing is seeing him grow…seeing a part of me in him—It is a very special feeling. I will never forget the feeling when I’m pregnant with him inside my womb, feeling my belly growing everyday, feeling him move and then giving birth. I feel empowered when he snuggles close to me and not wanting to move an inch away from his mama.

Best thing about being a mom is how you think you are going crazy because one moment you want to give away your screaming-tantrum-throwing child and the next minute u think how incredibly cute and gorgeous they are when they kiss you and show you a new trick that they learnt! It's a whirlwind of craziness!

Being a mother, your children are your life and nothing in the world is more important than them. You no longer live your own life, you live for your child—because the child comes first always. The child is your life!

To have children with your own flesh and blood, you will only bring them up the best way you can so that they will lead a good life with lots of love in their hearts.

The best thing about being a Mom is the chance to experience childhood again as you play and wonder with your kids, experience pure joy through the innocence of your baby and revive your childhood imagination with them.

It's so cool when you play with them and you have to play along and imagine with them... it awakens part of your childhood back up that you thought was lost. Uh ohhhh baby screaming. Gotta go... don't love that part LOL.

As a mom to four and 'nanna' to four, my life has been filled with Moments of 'ah, so that's what it's all about'. But by far the most fulfilling moments as a mother have been the ones in which my grown children have come to me and thanked me for being the mum I am. It is in hearing the words coming from my daughters that they are gladly giving up careers to be stay-at-home moms like I was because they want to be just like me. Wow! It doesn't get more fulfilling than that.

To all you moms out there...don't ever think you are insignificant or that what you do doesn't matter. The success of the future depends upon how well we do our job--the one called 'mum'.

We are the people who give life, sustain life and teach life. If we mess up raising our children, nothing else we do will really matter. So be humbly proud and thankful that you have the most important job in the world.
